Overview

Summary

The Integrated Criminal Court Survey (ICCS) is an annual administrative data survey that gathers national statistical information on appearances, charges, and cases in youth courts and adult criminal courts. The survey is intended to be a census of pending and completed federal statute charges heard in provincial-territorial and superior courts in Canada. Appeal courts, federal courts (e.g., Tax Court of Canada) and the Supreme Court of Canada are not covered by the survey. The ICCS includes information on the age and sex of the accused, case decisions, sentencing information regarding the length of prison and probation terms, and the amount of fines, as well as case-processing indicators such as case elapsed time. The adult component of the survey includes persons aged 18 years or older at the time of the offence. The youth component of the survey includes persons aged 12 to 17 years old at the time of the offence.
